Redwall MUCK Forum

Hello all!

So RL has appeared with the giant RL Hammer of Responsibilities and I cannot be on until Saturday now
Set sail without me on the 18th
Other people can play Ciocan.

Quinten will accept command of the mountain from his Badger and stay at home and then make everyone's lives hell!
With his Lordship away on a dangerous mission with a large chunk of the patrol he intends to make the mountain spic, span and shine so that when they all get back it feels like returning home with everything sorted out and organised.

All those horrible little jobs that never get done because we are busy doing our day to day jobs
Yeah we are doing those! Cleaning the kitchens, inventorying the armoury, emptying everything out of the barracks and cleaning them from top to bottom.

Time line wise!
I am happy to leave the dates for the sea journey up to Krisha but abbey wise
I was thinking I'd run the next attack on Saturday 20th
With then something on Tuesday or Thursday
With another big attack on the 27th

All of this sounds good to me
And it fits in with the way I have always sort of played it that the General stays home and does the paperwork but helps out with planning and tactics and rotas and admin. But generally doesn't get out in the field any more.

I've always run Quinten as running the Leveret School, managing who is on sentry duty / at home and managing the day to day admin of keeping the mountain running. But he stays out of active patrol/campaign planning unless it is to point people to historical records and maps and such in the library they might need.

I've always seen it that things like making sure the Infirmary is running, the kitchens cook food, we have supplies in stock, the farm on the side of the mountain is managed properly, inventories of the armoury, that the training drills etc. happen and recruits are taken care of and Dormitories are kept in good order etc. He has over-all command of those sort of day to day things, but doesn't actually run them himself, he's just the administrator who keeps the paperwork in order and delegates down to people like Felicity etc. who are the experts to make it happen.

He manages the paperwork and checks people have what they need to get their jobs done and offer support as needed.

Ok thanks for the update!
I should give someone a means to contact me

Caleb knows how to reach me on Discord
Ok, I will be on, on the 9th, I need to rest my shoulder this evening I have wrenched all the muscles

I should pick another date for the next incident at Redwall too
Maybe the 16th?

Hello all!

Just to put it all clear here so everyone can see

Tuesday 2nd June: Rats Attack Redwall:
Rule re: keeping weapons on you inside the abbey is relaxed for the grounds/walltops but are still forbidden inside the main building.
A weapon rack has been brought out of the Gate house and put by the main doors of Great Hall, anyone coming inside has to put their weapon there. But if they go outside into the grounds they can keep their weapons on them.

8TH (Or maybe 9th too) - Heroes find 12 streamrats,2 foxes and a weasel guarding  Keldorns boat...only they don't find out its empty till the fight off the vermin enough to look below deck to see they were tricked!

9th the heros get to the shores and get to watch Mistclaw sail away and then the heroes need to head to Sala (for a couple reasons)

Thursday 11th: Arrive at Salamandastron

Thursday 18th: They finally set sail after Mistclaw: Matilda and Ciocan both leading the way via dreams/visions etc.

I have a marauding band of rats coming up from the south who have heard the Champion is away and are going to try their chances with an assault on the abbey. If they can get inside they figure they can subdue all these soft woodlanders and rule like kings!

I was going to have them arrive this week, as the party heading for the shore aren't due to arrive until the 9th.
So when is a good day for people to be on for the first Abbey attack? Tuesday or Thursday?

With regards to Ciocan asking someone else to care for the mountain, that is sort of Quinten's job as General of the Home-Guard, he's the hare who stays behind and runs the school/training programme for recruits etc. So it would be unusual for Ciocan to ask someone else to stay home and tend the house. Unless he is taking Quinten with him for some reason?

Also I was thinking it'd take at least a week, if not two to get a ship, get it supplied and provisioned and ready to depart.
So beasts can enjoy some time at the mountain, as it is not a quick thing to find a ship and set sail.

Hey all

Some updates from Krisha and I
We have had a chat and just to give people a rough timeline of the TP.

We are expecting Matilda's group will not arrive at the western shore until about the week of the 8th June. We're not sure what day yet but it'll be sometime that week.

Once on the shore we'll be catching up to Mistclaw briefly before she escapes out to sea. She'll be heading for the Island of Terramort!
So this will be good fun, but alas our heroes will not know where they have gone!
Once we lose her at the sea Matilda's group will turn south and head for the Badger Mountain.

Ciocan will be expecting visitors but will not know why or when but will be able to divine where to go using the ancient Badger runes of the Mountain. We're not expecting any convenient long patrol hares to just find Matilda's group but if you have a hare you do want to have join up with the Champion get in touch, they would be welcome we just want to be able to fit them into the plot.

Also anyone who has a character they want to join Matilda's group or a vermin to join Mistclaw do get in touch with us, you can even be one of the kidnapped dibbuns should you so desire.

Everyone is welcome!

Saturday 16th May I can be online all day

Hey Log-A-Log,

Yeah I am happy to send Oswald along.

As for Gracie, she might not be able to fly yet, but she is a gosling.
She could easily swim out into the middle of the pond and hide there very few can reach the middle of the pond if you're not a water bird or an otter.

That's 8pm my time
I should be able to make that as Quinten

This is all good stuff,

I also quite like the medal descriptions posted.

One thing I think we should add/keep is that as you reach a certain rank the uniform becomes a bit more flexible.

The books are full of higher ranking hares wearing sashes and hats and extra bits and bobs or a certain type of boots that is their personal mark. I think that might be quite good fun to add in so once you hit Captain or above you can start to add little extra touches to the uniform that are personal to yourself.
